M

" M " is for Emma 
She came into my life 
On a bright sunny day 
Fluttered around my page 
Just like a heavenly butterfly 
She had a thing for the redheads
Maybe because she was one of them 
Said I should join, I'd be welcome there 
I said I really can't do that, I'm not a redhead
Though my sister and brother are true redheads
She liked the form of the female body, as I do 
Had a sensual free flowing spirit about her 
She was a delicate flower floating along  on a
Golden leaf against a sunny blue sky  above
In her secrets, she carried life within her storms
She filled the emptiness with love and life 
In her words, she carried love to all she knew 
Then God called her home on this day   
Though we shall meet up again one day 


My friend Emma passed 5/ 10 / 2012
She was born with a bad heart, she was 30 yrs old!

May She rest in Peace - tragedy can erupt the most beautiful beliefs - sounds as though Emma was born with an effective heart to me! elegant metaphors,"carried life within her storms..."Nice! J.A.B.
